Im taking my grand son swimming and grabbed this cache between muggle activities.TFTC

Thanks!

Thanks for the cache on a windy cold Canberra day

A nice easy find in this cold weather with Rock-Hopper and Princess Belle. TFTC The Farmers 5

Thanks. A nice way to end the day.

Found. Still has plenty of log book space

Dnf

Found it in the dark after swimming lessons.

A relatively fast find while in the area with some time to spare. Lots of muggles but most were focused on getting from the building to their warm cars. TFTH

Stealth was certainly required here and had to wait for the right window to replace this one - even at 9pm! A sneaky hide, had to think about our options and the pause certainly helped have the cache in hand a lot sooner than it may have been! Superb view and great facility to have in the Molonglo Valley. TFTC Farmers5 ???

Tftc! Ended a good session in the water

Found this after my weekly swim! Always so relaxing and meditative in a way.Was a good find too as my Muggle Mother was curious about this caching thing I got into, so a quick, cool hide was a nice surprise to end the night.TFTC

Tricky find as it was well hidden by the last finder. But with a lack of options it was quick in any case. Thank you The Farmers 5 for putting the cache out and maintaining it.

Found after a quick ride at stromlo.

In Canberra on a caching trip with Muzza, Rabbitto, micaparamedic, Team Crackers, McLookers Moonb1, maccamob and pprass. Many thanks for all the caches.

Found with Moonb1, McLookers, Maccamob, Muzza, Pprass, Team Crackers, Rabbitto et al on a day caching in the Canberra Area.

Catching up with late logs

We joined forces with Alansee, maccamob, McLookers, micaparamedic, moonb1, Muzza, Pprass and Rabbito to try our luck at a few Adventure Labs and any thing else that was close by.

We were doing the nearby power trail and we weren't going to leave any nearby caches that weren't involved in it. We really enjoyed the break from the slog of doing these caches. Most of these were found very quickly which helps when you have this many eyes looking and our name has been added to each log.
We apologies for the generic log but it was quite awhile back and we did so many on that trip that our old brains can't remember them individually.


To save room in the log we signed as Vic1
Thanks for the cache.

We found this cache on Day 2 of our Vic1 Canberra Run in company of Muzza, McLookers, Micaparamedic, Alansee, Moonb1, Maccamob, Team Crackers and Pprass. Today was our Uriarra and Cotter Loop. Thanks from D B-A

Found at 8:38 AM in the company of the Vic 1 team
Alansee worked out a route for us to do today which included some very challenging AL's and we ended up at an event where the locals were to meet us! A big day that showed the beauty of the ACT and surrounds after the fog finally lifted! Most of the caches were way under rated though - nearly all of them were just a D/T of 1.5/1.5 no matter how hard they were to get to or find them - not very imaginitive in that sense.
Thanks to The Farmers 5

A quick find low today.

In Canberra on tour with Muzza, Rabbitto, micaparamedic, Team Crackers, Alansee, Moonb1, maccamob and pprass. Log signed Vic1.

Thanks for placing the cache The Farmers 5.

In Canberra with fellow cachers VIC1+PPrass to tick off some caches.
Thanks for the cache The Farmers 5

Second day of group caching in Canberra. All caches signed as Vic1. Found in a large group consisting of McLookers, Micaparamedic, Alansee, Moonb1, Rabbitto, Team Crackers and Pprass.



Thanks to The Farmers 5 for the cache.

Well hidden!

Hard

TFTC. Clever hide. Found in between swimming lessons.

Second time here and found it pretty quickly! Left the first time because I was alone and embarrassed because it was so busy This time it was just as busy, but I stopped caring. Smart spot! Thanks for the cache:) I didn’t need a TOTT

I see why they said tweezers would help successfully got it without. good to know I was the first to write something in the log

ToxicNoodle

New cache and log sheet now in place .
Stealth required .
Good luck !

Thanks great job we wer witch was exiting

So cool found it under something and we discovered we wer the first ones to find this cache thanks

Found it TFTC.

Out for a ride on the trails nearby. Stopped on the way home to grab this. The cache is no longer fixed to the feature. TFTC

I really liked the simplicity of this cache.

Quick find to start off a day out picking up some urban/semi-urban caches today with Noikmeister. As it was the first of the day pretty sure I dated it incorrectly.

#689 Before heading back towards home I decided to pick up a few caches along the way. Given the time of day I was hopeful it would be a bit quieter here given I know I can be quite a popular centre. This paid off fairly well as I had the immediate area to myself and was able to park right next to where I needed to be. How senses kicked in pretty quick here and the cache was found fairly quickly after avoiding the eyes of passing cars. Thanks Farmers 5 for the hide, a challenging one to stay stealthy

Tweezers weren't needed. Luckily there were not too many hiding places

yep that's right i found it don't even worry about it bro i got this one for sure

A quick stop by after finding 10 or so nearby with Turtle284. Where he had already found this one, he made useful cover for me as I made the retrieval, TFTC

Visited for a swim, found on a cache on my way back to the car. Tftc

Tough find for the kids without a hint

A pretty cool new location which I was not aware of. Thanks for showing me this new spot. The cache itself was very easily located, but took some time to get out from it's hiding spot. TFTC The Farmers 5!

Out for a day of serious caching aling Uriarra Road.
Back in shorts and T-shirt for a warm day, enjoying the sunshine.

I started at this cache, parked nearby and made a quick find between waves of muggles.


TFTC

I had no idea this aquatic centre was here, so beautiful

An empty carpark - #perfectcaching TFTC

I had been here once before but abandoned the search due to heavy foot traffic. Today I parked closer to GZ and made the find as soon as the opportunity arose. Thanks again The Farmers 5!

Found on a caching run around Weston Creek in the heat. Ahhh, so THAT'S where this centre is! I've heard lots about it but was sure it was in the centre of Coombs and not on the literal Mt Stromlo! Drove here for a quick look and a quick find before heading home, considering I was getting tired from the heat. The cache had a bit of water in it but the Rite in the Rain log was useful! TFTC TF5!

Not too many hiding options at GZ but still took a while to recover, while watching for swimmer muggles who regularly appeared from nowhere. Accurate coords helped narrow things down. TFTC TF5

Tftc

A quick find while the kids sleep in the car!

Had a quick 1 minute look. Will come back another day

Dropped my little ones off to the pool with their dad and came across to find this one. A surprisingly fast find today. Tftc!

Find 299 for the tribe.

Spending the day in the nations capital and as it is fairly miserable outside we thought we would visit SLC which turned out to be an excellent idea. The geokids loved the waterslide. We smashed out a few laps in between supervising. Water was lovely and warm! Maybe next time the geograndparents will come in too.

Cache was located fairly promptly by geokid 1. Cache in good condition with plenty of room in the log. Signed log and replaced as found. Now off to get our 300th!

Thanks the farmer's 5 for the cache!

Thankyou this was my daughters first ever cache find!

No muggles were confused during the finding of this cache.

#11492 - 11:26:00 AM; Headed out again today with Sol de lune as we continue our work on a couple of personal challenges to raise daily cache finds and also complete loops of different cache types. Unlike our earlier efforts today turned out to be a real adventure as we totted a TOTT with us up hill and down dale through the Stony Creek Reserve so we could log a target multi in that area. All up I managed 9 finds and 1 DNF for the day, with most caches being found in good order. After completing the Stony Creek mission, we headed back for home and I collected a few urban caches around the newer areas of Molonglo, including this one. TFTC The Farmers 5

FINALLY!!! Living somewhat close, we had looked for this cache about 2 or 3 times to no avail. At the times, we chalked it up to too many muggles and didn’t think we were looking in the right spot, however, after doing a number of nearby caches, we decided to give this one a crack again.

Feeling lucky, we pulled up at the usual spot and had a quick look. Within SECONDS we had the cache in hand! I swear we looked there before!!! Feeling very lucky to have found this one, we also noticed that this is our 800th find!

Thanks for the cache! Very satisfied to have ticked this one off our list.

Ta - hidden very well!

I needed a daily cache, but needed to do a whole heap of work at home and such.

This one was close and so I came by to give it a go. Thankfully although the carpark was full, there wasn’t many muggles about.

A quick search thankfully enabled me to pull out the cache and sign before a family came out from the main doors. I waited until the went to their car before putting the cache back and then I was off. Tftc The Farmers 5!!!

Forgot our pen!
This was fun, will probably bring a pen next time I come to the gym for a delayed log

Thanks! Logged with tsaqqiyq

I have wondered what this building was on the side of the hill, and now I have paid a visit. Reading the cache description, I was looking for something different, but after not finding anything matching that, tried a different spot and found the unexpected container.

Thanks,

Walked up this afternoon and after a bit of an effort to retrieve the cache, the log was signed and all was good. Not that busy at 5.30pm, but from hear it's a different story in the mornings.

Thanks for another one Farmers 5

Found on a bike ride around the Molongolo Valley 'burbs... nice views from up here. Followed this on with a beer at the nearby Handlebar... top spot! TFTC TF5 nice find one of yours that didn't pose too many problems (for a change)

Quick find on a late afternoon when the crowds up here have started to wander home. A very popular spot nowadays. Tftc

Quick and easy find on my way to see the grandkids on this beautiful sunny afternoon. TFTC The Farmers 5.

TFTC Back to doing some neighbourhood caching, filling in some gaps!

Loads of muggles around this evening but this was a quick easy find thank goodness. Coords spot on and few options. Container and contents in excellent condition.

Grateful thanks to The Farmers 5 for placing and maintaining the cache to entertain me on my journey.

Found very easily, because another two people were already there, writing in the log book. As Miss 6 said: "they are the clue". TFTC

Searched the obvious structure but with no luck. Also checked the rocks below in case something had fallen off. This structure is under video surveillance so I wonder if the last cacher's 'late night adventure' had anything to do with it or maybe I’m much blinder than I’d like to admit. Also, searched the surrounds for other opportunities. Will try again if someone else finds it this week. Thx CO.

A late night adventure before my holidays meant for a return to this cache. The spot I thought it was going to be turned up blank, but the next spot I searched greeted me with a blank logbook! Thanks for the maintenance TF5, & TFTC!

New cache in place . Fresh log sheet . Stealth required !

I came with a previous finder, it wasn't where it was previously. We scrounged around in the rocks but it didn't appear to be there either. CO should probably have a look at this one.

Not today...but had a look the other night and think I found where the cache should've been...

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

Many thanks to The Farmers 5 for this cache. It is the start of our Boxing Day Caching trip. Lovely weather to be out and great company with the Three Kings.

I headed out after work to visit two caches for today's count desires. I had not realised this is where the new pool was, a very impressive looking facility. I thought the hide here was very good use of the available options and a fun hide that did not take too long to locate.

Thanks for the cache The Farmers 5

When cosmonaut97 asked if anyone wanted to go for a hike to 'A long way to the Top', I couldn't say no as I needed it for my Jasmer calendar.

We started off super early to beat the heat, meeting at the locked gate for an 8.00am start. Our group ended up consisting of Cosmonaut97, kittykatch, isopeda, Flintstones, froggycache, Akayem (who just came along for the walk!), a few muggles, and, of course, fitzy_1965.

After finishing our big walk and the nearby event, fitzy_1965 and I decided to pick up a few more caches along the way home.

22,049. Found this one after an epic trip up the mountains with minniek and a bunch of other cachers.

A while ago cosmonaut97 hatched a plan to head up to 'A Long Way to the Top' and associated caches, which minniek and I immediately signed up for. I had done A Long Way to the Top way back in January 2010, but then just 6 months later the Pryors Hut cache was placed (thanks Agent Basil) and so I knew I'd have to make the trek out here again one day. I rode the fire trail the first time, but in the intervening years bikes have been banned? Weird. After the big walk and the recovery event, we got back to our car and decided to grab some more caches for our calendar requirements. This was a nice easy drive-by. Quick find at GZ. Signed the log, replaced the cache, then headed off to the next one.

Thanks The Farmers 5 !! Certainly a lot of work has been done up here.

Cache found but container obvious to any muggle passing by.

Well here’s a new spot, cache quickly spotted, maybe it’s not where it should be. Checked out SLC, but no pies so we went elsewhere

A quick find after my morning swim. TFTC

#13683 @1820
I needed a few more caches to top up my find numbers for the day, so headed out for an afterwork mission. Cache easily found. TFTC.

Received a shout out from the FFLL ladies inviting me along for some Sunday caching around the ACT, sure I would like that We didn't really have any plans, just decided to go where ever our driver took us so off we went. The rain held off for us, a couple sprinkles here and there but nothing to get us wet, the real rain came after we had dinner.

No issues locating this one today, signed and replaced as found. Pretty impressive building!

Thanks for the cache placement The Farmers 5, and thanks to the FFLL ladies for another fun filled day out and about.

We were going to head out of town today but a change of plans due to the not so good weather. So decided to stick to Canberra and hit some of the new phishing caches around the place plus any extras along the way.

Put the call through to Rapidlywild to see if she wanted to join us as it has been awhile since we have been out and about caching. Must change that!

Nice quick find here. Pretty impressive complex.

Thanks for the hide The Farmers 5

After a number of caches in "Sherwood" I returned home and nabbed a few additional caches. TFTC.

Riding a wave there of caching satisfaction.
Thanks for the find.

I remember seeing this being built before it was opened on previous caching trips, and wondered what it was going to be! Cool to see the outcome! I even strolled through the front doors to check it out, but didn't see much before turning around as I didn't want to look like I wanted to come in Looks like a great facility though!

The cache hide was interesting, didn't expect what I found, I was quite surprised when i spotted it quickly on approach! That is a bold hide!

Thanks Farmers 5

Arrive there quick found spot on TFTC farmer 5

Really clever hide, the Geokid saw it quickly. Thanks for the cache!

Out with Tankengine today to find a few caches and keep company on a bit of maintenance. Definitely a nice day to be out and it wasn't long into the morning when some new cache publishing had us off into a number of new directions and a few opportunities to join up with a few friends along the way.

Certainly some good variation to the day in both the caches and the locations, and the number of different TOTTs that were needed along the way exceeded anything else! Thanks for the cache The Farmers 5.

Plenty of parking but quite a few cars here this afternoon too. Super easy find here today then off for lunch.

Chooo ooo [found] - with Aquilus1!
Cool new swimming pool here! Will need to have a look inside at some stage! Thanks for the cache F5.

Found with Geokids 2 and 3

Parked right next to GZ and even though there were plenty of cars nearby, not soul to be seen. Jumped out for the quick find, sign and replace. Will have to check the complex out soon...hopefully. TNLNSL TFTC
